Removal of palm fruits and ecosystem engineering in palm stands by white-lipped peccaries (Tayassu pecari) and other frugivores in an isolated Atlantic Forest fragment (2009, background): “…especially during periods of low fruit diversity and availability (Paschoal and Galetti 1995; Galetti and Aleixo 1998; Matos and Watkinson 1998; Galetti et al. 1999, 2001; Cullen et al. 2001; Fleury and Galetti 2004; Keuroghlian and Eaton 2008a), though their importance varies according to the…”
Seed survival and dispersal of an endemic Atlantic forest palm: the combined effects of defaunation and forest fragmentation (2006, background): “%) of Atlantic forest palms are dispersed chiefly by scatter-hoarding rodents, especially agoutis, or by the endangered lowland tapir (Tapirus terestris) (Galetti et al., 2001; M Galetti, unpubl. data), including several endemic species and one endemic genus (Polyandrococos).”
Fruit Availability and Peccary Frugivory in an Isolated Atlantic Forest Fragment: Effects on Peccary Ranging Behavior and Habitat Use (2007, background): “…been considered keystone plant resources, because some species fruit abundantly during periods of general fruit scarcity, and are consumed by many frugivorous species (Leighton & Leighton 1983; Terborgh 1986; Bodmer 1990; Peres 1994; Galetti et al. 1999, 2001; Altrichter et al. 2001; Beck 2006).”
The Role of Mammals in Creating and Modifying Seedshadows in Tropical Forests and Some Possible Consequences of Their Elimination (2007, background): “Long-distance seed dispersal is especially prominent in large herbivores such as elephants (Dudley 1999, Cristoffer & Peres 2003), tapirs (Galetti et al. 2001, Fragoso et al. 2003), and some deer (Bodmer 1991).”
A REVIEW OF PECCARY–PALM INTERACTIONS AND THEIR ECOLOGICAL RAMIFICATIONS ACROSS THE NEOTROPICS (2006, background): “…consume fruits and seeds of palms (Beck 2002, 2005; Beck and Terborgh 2002; Beck-King et al. 1999; Bodmer 1991b; Bodmer and Ward, in press; Galetti et al. 2001; Gayot et al. 2004; Henderson 1995; Painter 1998; Silvius and Fragoso 2002; Smythe 1978, 1986; Smythe et al. 1985; Wright 2003;…”
Natural Regeneration in Plantations of Native Trees in Lowland Brazilian Atlantic Forest: Community Structure, Diversity, and Dispersal Syndromes (2011, background): “The high density of zoochorous plants in the P3 plantation appears to result from the dominance of Inga edulis (Fabaceae), whose seeds are dispersed mostly by medium-sized and large animals (Oliveira & Ferrari 2000; Galetti et al. 2001).”
